Question

1) Un cuerpo se mueve desacelerando a razón de 8m/s2, calcula: a) La velocidad que tenía 5 segundos antes de detenerse. b) La distancia recorrida los últimos 5 segundos de su trayectoria.

Answer 1

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

Distance travel in last 5 seconds = 100 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Acceleration (a) = 8 m/s²

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Find;

1] Initial velocity before 5 sec

2] Distance travel in last 5 seconds

Computation:

1] Initial velocity before 5 sec

v = u + at

0 = u + (-8)(5)

u - 40 = 0

Initial velocity (u) = 40 m/s

2] Distance travel in last 5 seconds

s = ut + (1/2)(a)(t²)

s = (40)(5) + (1/2)(-8)(5²)

s = 200 - 100

Distance travel in last 5 seconds = 100 m
